"the Typhoon has good energy and a pretty good first turn, but that they were able to outmanoeuvre the Germans due to the Raptor's thrust vectoring. Additionally, the Typhoon was not able to match the high angle of attack capability of the F-22. "We ended up with numerous gunshots," another USAF pilot says."

Looks like against an energy fighter like the Typhoon, Raptors like to go slow and use her TVC instead.

It's training, they could be working on specific things not really relevant to a F-22 vs Rhino argument, for all we know the guy flying the F-22 might only have 100 hours at the stick of the Raptor and the rhino pilot has 1,000.

More proof the internets will believe anything. First picture at the "merge" looks more like the start of a 3k perch set, in this case, an extremely defensive start for the F-22. Second picture looks like the Raptor is about to neutralize the fight. Just going off the pics posted, don't know the back story.

Why these things resurface again and again? Any platform can lose to any other platform in practice and it means basically nothing for real world situations. WW2 tank can kill any modern tank in right circumstances but getting there would be almost impossible in real life. Medieval bowman can kill modern soldier in the right environment but that doesn't mean a modern military unit would not simply slaughter huge number of bowmen in real combat and probably would not even take a single casualty. F/A-18 is not a medieval bowman, but a very capable WVR fighter and I'm sure even F-22 pilot has to be careful against it in WVR training. I'm sure all modern fighters have lost in training against trainer jets like Bae Hawk, T-38, Alpha Jet or Aero L-39. That doesn't mean they would lose badly in real world combat.

A Su-22 loosing in a mock dogfight isn't worth any attention, in fact winning in a Su-22 might be worth more attention since no one expects it.

Thats not the case with the Raptor. the mere fact that it is news says a lot about the Raptor's prowess. I mean, it's a Raptor, it's not expected to loose.

heres the back Story. This was posted by a pilot in Social Media. When someone posted a comment saying "so I guess the Raptor ripped you a new one huh" he posted the 2nd pic with the comment saying "Guns".

Another poster who is also in the Navy said, Anthony won twice and lost once against this Raptor. Another said, the F-22 would not want to go low and slow against a Hornet unless it was out of options, which I though was weird since the Raptor is actually better than the Hornet in the low and slow envelope.

But as explained by Sprts.. the Margin isn's as large as in the high and fast department
